[Forever North]

Exactly the type of player we need. I look at the damage players like Bobby Hill, Cameron, Rioli, Picket etc do and just sigh. Hopefully he can impact.

 

[Heaps of fun]

First time we've taken a genuine small forward with pace for years and years.

 

[justroyal]

I’m calling it early. If he and spicer can get good at sharking and defensive pressure in the forward line. We’re finally onto fixing our ten year drought forward line when you add Curtis and Ford with Sheezel and Wardlaw rotating through there

 

[Rod Stroker]

Probably unavoidable, but I hope he doesn't spend much time away from the club with TT.

 

[giantroo]

Should note that Robbie had just made the WA state squad and was set to play in the u18 championships that are coming up (as an over-ager)

I'm hoping we can develop that talent that he has to make him a weapon.

Gordon Narrier?

Let’s hope RHJ turns out a little better.

I mean, Spicer…

how is a 19 year old eligible for the u18 championships?

Well, we haven't been playing him there, but you could make a case for Harry Sheezel

The system just reverted back from u17/u19 system to an u16/u18s.

"Players who have been overlooked for the draft and turn 19 next year will still be given opportunities to play in the championships as well, however AFL recruiters have pushed to see more chances given to talented bottom-age players as has been the case in the previous system."

Robbie turned 19 in March.

How old is he?

Just kick 2 goals a week Rob

That’s all I want

 

[Heaps of fun]

I mean, Spicer…

He was a winger.

[Fish Sticks]

Nice to see highlights where virtually every kick hit its target. Welcome Bobby!

Highlights are good like that…

Welcome aboard Junior. Hopefully he becomes that fast skilful forward pocket we have lacked for many many years!

 

[discodaddy]

Welcome Robert. Let’s see your best.

 

[William Caresser]

Lowers his eyes in and outside 50 and hits up targets instead of blazing away. That'll be a novelty amongst our forward group.

Lots of goal assists. Great kicking action and ball skills/hand eye. Genuine small forward at 180cm with tons of agility and acceleration. A lot of the small forwards currently on our list won't be in 2024.

Probably unavoidable, but I hope he doesn't spend much time away from the club with TT.

Ah..ok.

Wes Walley?

 

[scottywiper]

There's a bloke called Wes Walley??? Lol

 

[blackshadow]

Welcome aboard Bobby!

That highlight reel is impressive. Obviously raw but loved the big tackles that were on show as well as his ability to spot players.

I can see him and Stevo really complimenting each other in the forward line.

 

[chubbspeterson]

Welcome RHJ. Looks like he's got speed, agility and can make things happen and some crafty kicks inside 50.
Love the fact that it only got out a few hours before the draft as to who we were taking.
He'll take some time to adjust and learn the new gameplan, so I wouldn't expect him to be straight in like some are hoping lol.

 

[Junk yard]

Well, we haven't been playing him there, but you could make a case

Well, we haven't been playing him there, but you could make a case for Harry Sheezel

Harry's definitely not quick across the ground.

 

[DuckYeah]

Mid season draft has been a bust since its been introduced. Not just for us, for the entire competition. If ya going to recruit a player, why not have a crack at picks with potential high gains IF they work out.

Welcome young man. Have a red hot crack kid.

how is a 19 year old eligible for the u18 championships?

He might identify as an U18. Might be a good idea. Might start identifying as 23 myself
